Pharoahe Monch — The Light

[Verse 1] It was like the earth twisted around her She shifted the ground, I was like, "Ohhhhh... shit!" She's off the hook I would dress her decently, but look, her body is immaculate I'm attacking it from all positions of thinking inside my mind Hopefully it won't be too inappropriate if I walk over there And say, "Excuse me, can I have your number, please? I'll get on my knees if I have to" She'll laugh through the whole episode Just then I knew I had her locked down No cock-blocking please, this one's mine Dimepiece and shit, son, shorty was fine Every line of mine was like a rhyme, I wouldn't lie, I swear Sparkling the whole time as I whispered in her ear [Chorus] And I know you will see the light, baby Once you understand What you mean to me, darling And I know you will see the light, baby Once you understand What you mean to me, darling [Verse 2] Now some say I'm a little bit of thug slash b-boy gentleman But let me introduce myself, also begin So that you can further understand what I say I took this last swallow of the Grand Marnier And slid her to the dancefloor, now she like, "Wow!
